Network Configuration
This submenu is used to configure the network interface(s). Based on the configura-
tion, the unit may have three or more interfaces, which are used for either configura-
tion and remote display only or for data transfer (iSCSI) as well. Each network
interface may be configured individually. All network interfaces use the industry stan-
dard TCP/IP protocol.
When any network parameters are changed, and the changes are committed, the
changes will take effect immediately. In the case of a change to the IP Address, the
miSAN-V-Series connection will be dropped as soon as the new IP Address takes
effect, since the unit will no longer respond at the old IP Address. Re-establish a con-
nection to the miSAN-V-Series to verify the new configuration.
Hostname
Set the TCP/IP hostname. This may be either a hostname or a fully qualified
domain name (FQDN; see Appendix C, “Glossary”).
Default gateway
The default gateway IP address (default is 127.0.0.1) is set with this option.
Nameserver
A single nameserver IP address (default is 127.0.0.1) may be set in the same
manner as the miSAN-V-Series default gateway IP address.
ethX ( 1000 Mbps)
Choices are “Enabled”, “Disabled”, and “Bonded” for each interface.
The primary Ethernet interface is “eth0”. Depending on the configuration, there will
usually be either three or five Ethernet interfaces installed. They will be named in
sequence (“eth0”, “eth1”, etc.). Default for each interface is
Enabled. For each
Caution
Be careful when making changes to network parameters. Make sure
network settings will not render the unit unreachable on the network. If
the miSAN-V-Series becomes unreachable on the network, you can
reset the network parameters to their default values using the network
reset button on the rear panel. To perform the reset, while the miSAN is
powered-on, first, insert a #0 Phillips screwdriver or paper clip into the
network reset button hole on the rear panel (See Figure 2-1). Then,
press and hold down the reset button for 5 seconds. The miSAN will
then restart. Afterward, you may change the network parameters from
their default values according to instructions in “Network” on page 16.
The first three submenu items below (“Hostname,” “Default gateway”
and “Nameserver”) apply to all network interfaces. The remaining items
are grouped by the interface involved: “eth0”, “eth1”, “bond0”, etc.
